休闲对话：卸了“房奴”装，再戴“孩奴”冠

A: So cute. Their baby's photos replace wedding photos in a twinkling.

好可爱啊，朋友们小宝宝的照片转瞬间取代了婚纱照。

B: You got married as well, and you are a mother-to-be, aren't you?

你也结婚了，已经是准妈妈了吧。

A: It's still early. I am quite depressed at the thought of "being house slave after child slave".

还早呢。想到“做了房奴再做孩奴”，真是太囧了。

B: When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a great man, it always first frustrates his spirit and will, exhausts his muscles and bones.

天将降大任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨。

A: We who born in eighties are under a lot of pressure. It is hard for us to juggle both job and children.

我们80后压力很大，家庭事业难兼顾啊。

B: Nay. I got that so many female employees choose to "get pregnant as soon as possible" to avoid being fired in the light of economic crisis. China's labor law stipulates that a company should not fire a pregnant employee unless the company is insolvent.

非也，我听说经济危机之下许多女性员工为了避免被裁员选择快速怀孕，因为我国劳动法规定破产情况以外，公司不得解雇怀孕员工。

A: "the rush-to-get-pregnant tribe"? I don't know and I don't care.

“闪孕族”吗?我不知道也懒得知道。

B: You might at least care about the current events.

至少应该关心一下新闻时事啊。

A: It is enough to have a happy-go-lucky manner and clear conscience.

乐天知命，无愧于心，这就够了。

B: I'm quite abashed.

我汗。
